Was originally going to nominate the XT6 but I found out that one of the coolest features of the XT, the ultra rad gauges, wasn't a feature on it. So, changed it to the normal XT. There wasn't much of a visual difference anyway. The 30hp increase probably would have swayed votes for the 'power output that no one knows about defines car coolness' crowd perhaps but I doubt with a car like this the votes would of been any different anyway.

This car is the, except for the XT6, the hardest car I have ever had to get pictures decent pictures of. The reason there is only two pictures of the rear is because those are the only two decent ones I could find. The XT6 was even worse, only one actual picture of the rear and it was of a shoddy example.

These also had an awesome video advertisement:

​

that car simply awesome!

Looks like a 1st gen MR2 with a 10 mile ass.

Can we please save discussion of the nominations for the polling threads?

 

[CSMDuty11]

Can we please save discussion of the nominations for the polling threads?

We have 67+ cars nominated for polling before this one, do you think we can even wait?

 

[Roger the Horse]

Well, you could always discuss the cars which are currently being polled rather than clogging up this thread with off topic discussion. Please.

 

[Wiegert]

@SVX You might as well include the 134bhp (145ft-lb) 1.8 XT Turbo we got in Europe if you're nominating the flat-4s.

If you're in need of decent-sized rear shots, I can spare one of my own.

I wondered what it reminded me of. It definitely looks like a first gen MR2.

Wikipedia seemed to have not mentioned that, thanks! Also, the picture is greatly appreciated, thank you.

The successor of the fabled "Hakosuka" GT-R. The "Kenmeri" was expected to carry on the GT-R name but the car was a victim of the ongoing oil crisis that started when production began. Only 197 examples were built before Nissan halted production and the GT-R badge disappeared for 16 years before returning on the R32 Skyline in 1989.

[All Your Base]

I'm thinking about nominating either the Cosmo 110S or the R33 GT-R. Which one is more ice box worthy?

I'd go with the Skyline first. Assuming it hasn't been nominated before.

It was only available in very dark green. Only 950 were made before the production was discontinued, due to low sales.​

 

[All Your Base]

EDIT: Changed my mind.

 

[Jahgee]

I guess it's time for a new nomination.

I mean your last nomination was posted yet, so it's really not, but OK.

 

[SlipZtrEm]

At the time, it held the world record for the most expensive production car at the time ($1,547,620 USD)

I hope I could withdraw that total amount from an ATM Machine.

 

[GranTurismo916]

The R390 is now being polled, so here is my second nomination.

[INEEDNAWZZZ]

1991 Nissan Figaro
​

Engine: 1.0L turbocharged inline-4
Body style: 2-door convertible
Power: 75 BHP @ 6,000 RPM
Torque: 78 lb/ft @ 4,440 RPM
Transmission: 3-speed automatic
Drivetrain: Front engined, front wheel drive
Weight: 810 Kg/1,790 lbs
Additional information: Mechanically based on the K10-chassis Nissan March/Micra. Potential buyers had to enter a lottery draw to have the chance to buy one, with 8,000 being built. However, demand became so high that another 12,000 were made. Only came in 4 colours, each signifying the different seasons. Nissan is not branded anywhere on the car minus mechanical components, so it won't shatter the illusion of it being a classic car. Famous owners include Eric Clapton and Princess Eugenie of York, among others.​

 

[GranTurismo916]

Oh, I'll put up another one since it just came flashing to my mind and the Honda 1300 ended up a solid Cool.

1933 Pierce Arrow Silver Arrow

Body Style: 4-door sedan
Engine: 462 cubic-inch (7.5 liter) V12
Power Output: 175 hp
Torque: N/A
Weight: 2,600+ kilograms.
Transmission: 3-speed manual.
Drivetrain: Front engine, rear wheel drive
Additional Information: futuristic design study with integrated fenders that hide compartments for spare tires, this was a decade ahead of it's time. It was so well received that it actually entered production, altough only 5 were built because, well, it cost 10k in 1933. Three still exist to this day. One of the starters of the art decó movement that would gain steam all over the world during the rest of the decade.

2015 Dodge/SRT Charger Hellcat

Body Style: 4 door sedan.
Engine: 6.2L Supercharged Hemi V8.
Power output: 707 Horsepower.
Torque: 650 ft-lbs.
Weight: 2,068 Kilograms.
Transmission: 8 speed automatic, 6 speed manual.
Drivetrain: Front engine, rear wheel drive.

Additional information: As of typing this, it is the fastest production sedan in the world, with a 1/4 time of 11 seconds, and a top speed of 204 mph. It's also the most powerful, rated at 707 horsepower. With a base MSRP of $63,995, it's also a steal.

There are three modes for the car: Street, Sport, and Track. Street shifts smoothly and early for a more comfortable ride, better mpgs, and a quieter trip. Sport mode is faster than street mode, shifting closer to redline and featuring rev-matching downshifts. The suspension is stiffer in sport mode as well. Track mode features everything sport mode has, as well as gear shifts as quick as 160 milliseconds. It also features the increased traction control of street mode, allowing you to get on the gas quicker in the corners.​

1949-1956 Saab 92/92B

Body Style:
2 door coupe.
Engine: 764cc Two Stroke.
Power: 25hp
Torque: 51 lb-ft.
Weight: 805kg.
Transmission: 3 speed manual.
Drivetrain: Transverse front engined front wheel drive.
Additional Information: Saab manufactured 1,246 cars in 1950 – all of them green. The cost of production was critical to Saab at the time and only 17% of the cost of the 92 was from imported materials. Hence the Henry Ford principle of any colour you like as long as it’s green in Saab’s case! It has been said that the reason that the first Saabs were available in this colour only was that they had a surplus of green paint left over from their wartime aircraft production

Spoiler: Additional Images

@GranTurismo916. I assume it's alright if I make this nomination considering the one I already have in the queue was part of Jahgee's thanksgiving special?

If the one that was just posted was part of regular nominations, yes.

If the one that was just posted was part of regular nominations, yes.

In case anyone asks, the first Thanksgiving nomination is the Covini by me, and from then on any in Italics in the OP are Thanksgiving nominations

Cool, just thought I'd make sure. Thanks for the reply. 👍
